“We came out of the gates strong and we played very tough ‘D,’” Knowlton said. “We rebounded, got on loose balls.

“We wanted to come out with a wicked drive,” she added.

Pease scored seven points during a 10-0 run that gave the Windjammers an early 10-2 lead. Oceanside would lead only once after that, and briefly.

Camden Hills opened the second half with a 7-1 spurt that put it in control. Knowlton hit a 3-pointer and Pease scored from underneath off a Bekah Hilt assist, before Hannah Plourde made a free throw for the Mariners.

Hilt followed with a rebound basket off a Knowlton steal that made it 32-24 with 5:28 left in the third. Oceanside never got closer than seven after that as the ’Jammers spread the floor in the fourth quarter and milked the foul line to put the game away.

Hilton posted seven points and eight rebounds and Megan Legage added six points and five rebounds for the winners, who shot only 7-for-22 from the foul line and 25 percent from the field.

Emily Gould led the Mariners with 17 points and six rebounds. Grover netted 11 points on 5-for-21 shooting, while Phoebe Ferraiolo hauled down 12 rebounds.

In Friday’s opener, Kelsie Richards scored all 12 of her points in the fourth quarter, propelling Nokomis to victory over Belfast.

Nokomis coach Michelle Paradis was fine with Richards’ performance.

“I have continually yelled at my guards to keep shooting,” said a smiling Paradis afterward.

She doesn’t want them to lose confidence just because they miss a couple early in the game.

“I tell them, ‘if you’re open, shoot the ball,’” Paradis said.

Richards, a junior guard, could see the confidence ebbing among the Warriors.

“We were rushing our shots,” she said. “It was not going well.”

Nokomis did take a 15-7 lead after one quarter, but the Lions closed to 20-18 at the half.
